For the anime ask 1, 2, and 30
1. Yoroiden Samurai Troopers, aka Ronin Warriors. It’s pretty old, but was one of the first wave of the old superhero teams shows that tried to be something more than a toy advertisement, and I still love it to this day.
2. And in the above, Shutendoji aka Anubis, whom I saw in my first episode of the show having his ass kicked by practically everybody! And I thought, oh no the poor red-headed baby ( I have a weakness), why is everybody picking on him! D: And I feel like I should note that it was a gorgeous scene too, in one of those parks in the middle of a city that feel like a fairytale. I am kind of a sucker for this sort of thing.
Of course, it wasn’t the first episode of the series, and as it turned out he was a smirkity smug little asshat who really did earn every bit of that asskicking, though he improved later on. <3
30. AUGH. Nope not picking one you’re getting two. So, there’s a bit near the end of YST where Shuten dies and that was quite upsetting. Has to go. But also the end of YGO, in the anime or the manga - I’d have liked Bakura to get a better resolution, because he had every right to seek revenge (though not to destroy the world getting it) and having the whole ‘the Millenium Items are Solent Green’ thing be treated as the horror it was and actually resolved would be nice. You know, something like real peace for the tortured souls instead of ‘but now you’re being bad so that it makes all okay’.
And let’s not even get into the whole mess with Seto and Kisara and really REALLY unresolved issues with Atem. I am seriously hoping that in the movie Seto gets his win, because honestly the Puzzle is a giant magical cheat code and I just. I want my baby to KICK HIS ASS.
I actually squealed the first time I saw that bit in the trailers where Atem is walking into the light, and on the other side it’s - KAIBA >:D. It’s like the moment which the phrase ‘the light at the end of the tunnel is the headlamp of an oncoming train’ was made for. And then I died laughing, because seriously did Seto break into the afterlife because he wasn’t done fighting Atem? XD
